in my day the front of the class had a blackboard on it,
do schools still use blackboards today or have the Health
and Safety brigade banned them for all of the chalk dust students and teachers
inhale? anyway they have them in Japan, over the past 2-3 years there’s been an
increasingly popular trend amongst students there to take advantage of their drawing
skills and classroom facilities, during breaks between lessons students have been creating immense artworks on classroom blackboards
using nothing but the chalk provided to them and some leftover from the
previous lesson, the pictures often get posted to social media and go viral,
above the blackboard art of Mt. Fuji created by 2 students at Mito Sakuranomaki
High School in Ibaraki,
earlier this year Nichigaku decided to call for submissions
and host a Blackboard Art contest, the call for entries this year yielded 50
entries from 249 students, and the results were just announced earlier this
year, Nichigaku awarded winners with gift certificates of up to 100,000 yen in
value, above, an honourable mention went to 5 students from NSG-Highschool Niiza
Saitama who created this monotone mural of crossroads,
the use of coloured chalks are also permitted, I like this one, it is as if the blackboard is looking at the teacher and students behind him, which won 2nd place for this mural created by 4 students at Omiya Koryo High School, you can see all 50 entries to the Blackboard Art contest here, blackboard art, I would never have thought it.
